How much can I raise the PCIe frequency and where would I find what it is at now as that was something I had a look at in the bios but wasn't sure if I should play arround with it or not.
well by default the PCI-e bus should be at 100mhz..
there is a myth that a higher bus will net higher GPU clocks but i have no real evidence to support it...

mine is set @ 110mhz 24/7 but do not go higher than this..

the PCI-e frequency should be in the same section of the BIOS where the other voltages are.. ''Advanced options''

It vary s from board to board & low end boards wont even allow this function so the PCI bus goes up with the FSB & causes all sorts of instability

i would leave it where it is for now you can mess around with that once your happy with your overclock...
